Xmsn Overlay coming soon to a backyard near you!

NO Grid North Partners - transmission f/k/a CapX 2020 Posted on February 9, 2017 by adminFebruary 10, 2017

It’s early, so now’s the time to get agitated, get activated! As if CapX 2020 wasn’t enough, and during the CapX 2020 Certificate of Need proceeding, word of the “JCSP” overlay came out.  And we know that Xcel, in its … Continue reading →

The CapX 2020 project has been a part of my life for over 12 years… and now it’s mostly up and running.  So I’ve spent the day digging through the dusty files.  What a mess.  Boxes and boxes and boxes. … Continue reading →

Xcel’s bogus demand forecast basis for CapX

NO Grid North Partners - transmission f/k/a CapX 2020 Posted on February 21, 2016 by adminFebruary 21, 2016

Remember Xcel’s CapX 2020 peak demand projections of 2.49% annual increase?  How wrong can they be?  And how unjustified was their basis for a Certificate of Need for CapX 2020?  And how are they held accountable for those gross misrepresentations?  … Continue reading →

CapX Brookings/Myrick route good for something!

NO Grid North Partners - transmission f/k/a CapX 2020 Posted on June 19, 2015 by adminJune 19, 2015

When the Applicants added the Myrick route, oh-so-improperly at the very end of a long proceeding when they saw they couldn’t get their way due to DOT easements, it was excruciating.  Successfully defeated, but excruciating because it was so wrong, … Continue reading →

Xcel Energy demand down, down, down!

NO Grid North Partners - transmission f/k/a CapX 2020 Posted on September 28, 2014 by adminSeptember 28, 2014

I’ve been saying this for so many years, that electric demand is down, down, down, and instead, Xcel Energy (and all the others) have been saying it’s going UP, UP, UP (even though Mikey Bull said years ago that they … Continue reading →

Benefits of Transmission????

NO Grid North Partners - transmission f/k/a CapX 2020 Posted on August 12, 2013 by adminAugust 12, 2013

DOH!  This is NOT rocket science.  This came out last month, posted on the CapX 2020 site, and around the same time, there was a PR push about the tax payments, “benefits,” that local governments were receiving for the CapX … Continue reading →
